“This place is amazing! Full of delicious cheeses, meats, cute merchandise, and yummy unique sweets and drinks. The best part though is that the people that work there are absolutely astounding. They are full of so much knowledge about the cheeses they have and they are incredibly helpful and friendly. And I have found so many new delicious cheeses I love as a result. If I did not live over a thousand miles away I would visit this place daily until I have a chance to try everything they offer.”
“I love the BROTHERS...first time in and they treated me so great...they acted as if I was a celebrity..I was dress quite beautifully for Mother's day. love this establishment”
“Aside from participating in the restoring of this building from a dry cleaners to what is now a premium winery and liquor spot, it is one of the best in atmosphere and selection. I know when we first completed the brick work the second floor could be rented for private parties although I'm not sure if they are still providing this service. All in all worth a stop if you are in the area!”
“Great service and very friendly. My wife and I just moved to Albany, and they had a wine that we've been looking for but haven't able to find anywhere else!”
“Extremely impressed with the selection and customer service in Friendship Discount. They have everything a well balanced Beverage Mart should have. Huge selection of sizes of the Regular well known beers but also a very impressive offering of exclusive crafts beers also. Employees willing to go above and beyond what is typical and have a great attitude while assisting. Large selection of Cigars and a section of roll your own, as well as Growler fills and redemption on site. They got it all!”
“We were going away for a weekend, and we stopped by this liquor store for drinks, The attendant helped us to find what we desired, and we truly liked the selections that he suggested. Thank you!!!”

2967 US-9, Valatie“Great staff, as everyone says, very friendly and knowledgeable. They always have great stock and will order you what you want if they don't have it in stock.”
“A nice little wine shop with a great selection of wines! The selection isn’t huge but they make up for that in the quality of what they sell. I don’t know much about wine, so I pick my usual price point, location of the vineyard and then pick whatever bottle looks the coolest. So far I haven’t been disappointed using this process here! The staff is also always friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend”
“Love that there is a little liquor store right in the middle of Nassau for when you don't want to go too far. It's got just enough choices that you can choose from without it being overwhelming. The ladies in there are always sweet and helpful with anything that you need. Thanks for being so close.”
“Grapes and Grains is a "neighborhood" liquor and wine store. Although it may not be one of the super big liquor stores, it stocks a huge amt of liquors and wine. Plus the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always helpful. When I go there I know I'm going to find what I want and be treated well as a customer”

102 Van Rensselaer Square, Rensselaer“This is by far my favorite liquor store in Upstate NY! Their customer service is top tier. The employees are so knowledgeable about the wines/liquor sold here and they are always willing (and able) to educate me on whatever questions I may have. Whenever I’m confused about what to get, someone will suggest a particular brand and I’m ALWAYS pleased with their recommend. Isiah is the best!! He’s always willing to go above and beyond. Such a pleasant young man. I tell all my friends & family to come to NY Wine and Liquor Warehouse for all their alcohol purchases. Best selection & prices in town too! ?”
“Great selection, reasonable prices, and friendly staff! Even has their own mascot, the beautiful golden retriever, Dakota! Whether it's a gift for someone you know, your own dinner party or just refilling the cabinets, they are always happy to help and offer suggestions. My go-too!”
“The young man with the beard and the young lady with the highlights are always there when I come to shop. They're ALWAYS very friendly. Hell the young man even put me on to "Milagros" tequila(which is delicious). And the dogs are adorable!”

14 Picotte Dr, Albany“This is a great neighborhood shop, very impressed with what they have done with the place. Nice selection/assortment for the space. I appreciate that they carry a number of local and NYS based spirits. As an added perk - if they don't carry what you are looking for, just let the staff know and they will do everything they can to stock it for you.”
“I really like this place! Nice selection of wines at reasonable prices. Both Cathy, the owner, and Jolene, her employee, are both wonderfully helpful and kind!!Thanks for keeping this real!”
“A good place to grab beer, they have all the popular brands and a good selection of craft beers. For the size of the store, I would expect a better craft beer selection and sometimes they are low on inventory of some types of beer.They always have enough of the popular brands and the staff is always willing to help out.”
“Outstanding Offerings with well stocked coolers, carry out assistance, gift wrap bags and ribbon. Attentive courteous and friendly. EZ parking. Handicap wheelchair accessible.”
“Really nice spot in Delaware Plaza. We normally visit Empire Wine when we need adult beverages in the Albany area, but stopped in here since we were already nearby to meet friends for dinner. They have a nice selection of NYS wines and liquors right when you enter the store and they had some selections from my favorite wineries in the Finger Lakes (although, sadly, they don't carry Ravines). They also had some nice selections of Garnacha from Spain. I scored two reasonably priced bottles ($10 and $13). The store is well laid out and the checkout person was super nice. I would most definitely return here next time I am in the area.”
“Visited this location on 6/12/2020 (during COVID19) everyone lines up outside and one by one you step inside surrounded by this plexi glass...the store associate asks you what you would like...rings it up...and you open up this little door to give her your cash or credit/debit card. I didn't think to take pictures but this is the current process while Coronavirus is going around. They have many varieties and also sell a light fruity drink called Stella Rosa! Ladies, you will like Stella Rosa! Go check it out! It cost $12.95 per bottle.”
“Nice customer service. They have a rum that I like that I can't find in other liquor stores, Palo Viejo. A little on the expensive side. Other than that I enjoyed shopping here.”

9 New Scotland Ave #3597, Albany“I love this place. Small, cute, and the people working the front are always super kind and knowledgeable. Have come in here on a mission for a certain bottle and received quick guidance to get in and out when I wanted. I have also stumbled in after a visit to graney's next door requesting suggestions and was greeted with pointed questions and great suggestions to help me find what I wanted. There are places that are cheaper, to be sure, but I love the service and the great vibe I get in here when I want something closer to home. Highly recommend!”
“Fun staff with decent selections. Prices are comparable to local shops of similar size. Bourbon selection and pricing is better than other small stores.Always end up leaving with a smile on my face.”
